The Core 2 Quad still has higher IPC then Bulldozer and all the Phenom 2 CPU's.....
performance gap is still going to be the same on newer CPU's.... maybe even more so with Ivy and Sandy as they overclock much higher then the 920 does...
You seriously need to do some research......

My point is - suggest a relevant PC game to test. A REAL Dignified PC game. Not a game that's obviously going to run better on an Intel platform like you've stated. I mean seriously... talk about cherry picking. You have a serious bias for Intel. You should really work that out of your system because it won't get you far in this economy. Want to see some relevant benchmarks? Simply go to PAGE 1 of this thread and scroll down. Then go to the news section and look at the Far Cry 3 benchmarks posted. Those are relevant. Irrelevant benchmarks for an irrelevant console port is a irrelevant point.

I'm going to sleep. It's 4AM here. I'd be more than happy to continue this discussion tomorrow but I need some sleep.

Not a game that's obviously going to run better on Intel? They all run better on Intel....

I think people need to quit complaining about the choice of games tested here. Even professional review's don't test 1000 games, they have to pick a few to represent certain situations. Obviously older games are far more likely to favor Intel because they are less likely to be aggressively multithreaded. I wouldn't draw any conclusions about which processor is better based of this thread but IMO it shows that the FX-8350 has 'game'. It can hang. It doesnt deserve the disrespect given to it's older Bulldozer siblings.

I'm still waiting for ARMA 2, Crysis 1 and other games to be tested....
Why is it that the only games AMD fans benchmark is multi-threaded games? And on top of that it's always the same games....

Why should they test old crappy single threaded games. Like it or not the future is multi threaded. Who cares how old inefficient games run. If you wanna only play older games buy yourself a core 2 duo and be happy.

Almost every single AAA title being released now is multithreaded. whats the problem? Funny how two people from each CPU side take there time to post benchmarks for everyone and people like you just whine and complain the whole time, demanding they do this or that. Just to justify you paying extra for a CPU. I paid 130 bucks and can play all the games you can, U mad?

i may consider getting a 8320 or 8350 than a 3570k as i find it more suitable in games and streaming and what not i only game at 60fps (60hz Monitors) and plan on getting a 7950 which is less powerful than a 7970 but not by much Edited by JunkoXan - 12/8/12 at 6:53pm
